Journey to the West: Upon seeing the Yellow-Eyebrowed Demon, why not pay homage?

Huang Mei clearly remembered that the white-robed scholar first appeared in the original work when he participated in a discussion about the Buddhist Robe Association at Black Wind Mountain.

The outcome was that before he could even unleash his magic, Sun Wukong saw through his true form and killed him.

At the same time, he was also one of the few monsters who was killed even though he did not commit any evil deeds, which fully reflects the predicament and hardship of cultivators at the bottom in the Journey to the West world.

Even if you haven't done anything wrong, no matter what your personality is, as long as you have no power or background, you could die just by attending a discussion!

Historically, Emperor Taizong of Tang said, "Using bronze as a mirror, one can straighten one's clothes; using history as a mirror, one can understand the rise and fall of dynasties; using people as a mirror, one can understand one's gains and losses."

Therefore, even though the white-robed scholar did not possess the combat power of the black bear spirit and could not receive much reward through the system's containment module, he still wanted to take the spirit in. His purpose was to use the demon as a mirror to constantly remind himself not to slack off in his cultivation.

This is not a peaceful world, and what he is about to do is extremely dangerous. Without sufficient strength to back him up, the fate of the white-robed scholar in the original work may very well be his own future!

Flower Snake Mountain.

Wearing a blue scholar's hat and dressed in white, a scholar with a book in his hand sat upright in the cave. The oil lamp on the table made a soft crackling sound from time to time, which only made the place seem more quiet.

under night.

The black bear spirit led Huang Mei and Su Su to the cave entrance and asked softly, "Should I go and tell him?"

"Just call him out directly," Huang Mei said, shaking his head.

The black bear spirit took a deep breath and cried out, "Hua Ming, Brother Hua Ming!"

Beside the desk.

The scholar in white suddenly raised his head, his face immediately breaking into a broad smile, and he ran out of the cave clutching his scroll: "Your Majesty, what brings you here?"

The black bear spirit pointed at Yellow Eyebrows and said softly, "Let me introduce you. This is King Yellow Eyebrows, who is also my lord."

The scholar in white was completely astonished.

He suspected that he had heard wrongly.

Lord?

The Black Wind King actually has a master?

"Your name is Hua Ming?"

Huang Mei glanced at the book in the white-robed scholar's hand and thought to himself, "This guy is actually a scholar."

As if waking from a dream, Hua Ming, out of reverence for the Black Wind King, now regarded Huang Mei with even greater deference, bowing and saying:

"Reporting to Your Majesty, your student is Huaming."

"Haha, Great King?" Bai Susu was immediately amused by the title.

Hua Ming smiled ingratiatingly: "The Black Wind King's 'King' is none other than the Great King, isn't it?"

Huang Mei couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Just call me Your Majesty. Great King... that sounds a bit strange."

The black bear spirit chimed in, "Don't call me 'King' anymore, it's inappropriate."

Hua Ming said, "I understand... Yes, look at my brain. Please come into the cave, the three of you. I will serve you tea."

Huang Mei waved his hand and said, "No need, Hua Ming, are you willing to submit to me?"

Hua Ming blinked, then asked in surprise, "Me... am I worthy?"

He had endured countless hardships to reach this point, having cultivated himself from a small, flowery snake, and had also become fully aware of his own insignificance.

After all, a minor demon like him, unless he possesses exceptional talent and comprehension and gains the favor of a powerful figure, can only take the "flattery route," constantly bowing and scraping to powerful demons in exchange for cultivation resources.

Often, a tiny bit of resources that a great demon slips through his fingers is enough for him to cultivate for a long time.

To this end, he risked being beaten to death and infiltrated the human academy in his original form, learning literature and enlightenment from the students. He studied diligently morning and night, far surpassing the other students, and never wasted a single day.

Thus, in the human world, he learned a great deal of poetry and literature, all kinds of knowledge, and the ways of the world.

Therefore, he was able to be listed among the Black Bear Spirits and become a white-robed scholar with a minor reputation in this hundred-mile demon realm.

Even so, she was still lowly before the Black Bear Spirit, yet unexpectedly, she was fortunate enough to be recruited by a powerful figure!

"Humble origins but great achievements demonstrate true ability," Huang Mei said gently. "Do you know Deng Ai?"

How could a scholar in white robes, well-versed in poetry and history, not know Deng Ai?

However, in order to elicit the next words from the Yellow-Eyebrowed King, he still bowed and said, "Please enlighten me, Your Majesty."

Huang Mei laughed and said, "Deng Ai lost his father at a young age. At the age of twelve, he worked as a cowherd for a farmer and supported his elderly mother. He studied hard and eventually achieved fame and fortune."

Being born into poverty is not a disgrace; on the contrary, it is your greatest glory when you achieve success!

Hua Ming was suddenly struck as if by lightning, his eyes widened, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably.

These words struck a chord with him and gave him tremendous encouragement.

"Your Excellency, please accept my bow."

Coming to his senses, Hua Ming knelt down with a thud and solemnly declared, "From this day forward, I, Hua Ming, am willing to emulate Zhuge Liang, dedicating myself wholeheartedly to the cause until my dying breath!"

Huang Mei smiled and bent down to help him up: "Hua Ming, Kong Ming... could it be that you named yourself after Master Zhuge?"

Upon hearing this, Hua Ming felt somewhat ashamed and lowered his eyes, saying:

"I dare not compare myself to Mr. Zhuge. I chose this name simply because I admire Mr. Zhuge."

Huang Mei patted him on the shoulder and encouraged him, "Work hard and keep studying; I'm not Liu Bei, but I hope you can become my Zhuge Liang."

Hua Ming trembled, an indescribable feeling shooting from the depths of his heart to the crown of his head, causing him to silently clench the scroll in his hand and swear as if in vow, "I will follow your teachings, sir!"

Hearing him address me as "Lord Ming" repeatedly, Huang Mei couldn't take it anymore: "Alright, I'll say it again, just call me Your Majesty."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Hua Ming said respectfully.

"Go pack your things," Huang Mei said with a smile. "I'll take you somewhere where you can put your skills to good use!"

In the blink of an eye.

The night ends and the day dawns.

Huang Mei rode the clouds and brought them to the sky above Little Western Heaven, looking down at the thousands of demon soldiers on the mountain.

At this moment, listening to the demon soldiers' training slogans soaring into the sky and seeing their neat and uniform formation, the Black Bear Spirit and Hua Ming were both deeply shocked, just like the local earth god back then.

"Your Majesty."

As soon as the immortal cloud landed, the Earth God Wuxing immediately came over and bowed in greeting.

Huang Mei smiled and nodded: "From now on, I don't need to make a special trip to pay my respects when I come and go."

Wu Xing chuckled: "Here you go."

"Go ahead and get busy."

Huang Mei waved his hand, and then led the still somewhat dazed Black Bear and Flower Snake into the Little Thunder Temple. The two contracts arrived as promised and slowly flew into his hand.

"This is my letter of appointment from Little Western Paradise. You two, use your blood as ink and your hands as pens, sign it."

Huang Mei raised his hand to take the contract and handed it to the two demons with a smile.

The two demons each took the contract, without even looking at what was written on it, and directly bit their fingers to sign their names.

joke.

What's so interesting about it?

If you see something you're not satisfied with, do you expect the king to change it?
